If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

Hi Folks,
I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
So is that doable?
Thanks in advance

And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

I am presently downloading mountain lion. When it finishes, what is the procedure?

I am presently downloading mountain lion. When it finishes, what is the procedure?

My recommendation:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
Once you finish making the flash drive test it by restarting from it:
Boot Using OPTION key:
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
Release the key when the boot manager appears.
Select the disk icon for the USB flash drive.
Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Now install Mountain Lion from the flash drive.
If you are not interested in doing all of the above, then just click on the Install button when the Mountain Lion application automatically opens on your computer after it downloads.

P.S. The order status in the app shop says - complete - but no download option anywhere.
And when my computer wants to reinstall mountain lion - it says, that this ID did not purchse Lion
What is this supposed to mean? I have to purchase Lion OS as well? or it means mountain lion by this message, but just doesnt see, that my account bought it?

HT1338 I'm trying to download mountain lion, I've got an icon in the dock saying "OSX Mountain Lion waiting..." What is it waiting for? I can't seem to find any context menu or information.

I got it to download by going to the App Store, Purchases, and download.
This was after a false start thanks to Apple Help (total misnomer) which sent me to iTunes.
It is an amazingly slow download, so pack a lunch.
Thanks everyone.

I have 2012 Macbook Air with OSX mountain lion installed, but I can't find the installer

When i check on the Mac App Store, i still have to pay?

Trying to download mountain lion app from app store( after using redemption code)

Wheel spins for 5 secs then fails to download - clicking on the text - message says not available in uk

However, in the experience of some, in spite of saying that the app is quietly downloading in the background. It is a huge 4+ GB file IIRC and can take a long time to download based on your internet speed. When it's done, a an app called Install OS X appears in the Apps folder. It usually opens itself and prompts you to install the OS.
YMMV

I have been told my Redemption Code has been activated, yet I can not use the software without downloading trials only

I am in online school and I have recieved a Redemption Code but I am not able to use the software without just using 30 day trials, which have expired sooner than the 30 days. I am not sure why I can not open templates from class without having to purchase Adobe Creative cloud again. I have the old Adobe, 5.5, I believe still installed. What can I do to access my already paid for software that I can not use?

Try downloading it in safe mode. Hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode, and then, open App Store > Purchases, and download Mountain Lion.
If it doesn't work, contact with App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact

HT202159 Whilst downloading mountain lion - I get in red "An error has occurred" and no ability to resume the download - amy ideas?

I am trying to download mountain lion on to a mac pro but the message I get is just an error has occurred. any suggestions are very welcome.

I was having this problem - I assumed it was the Apple server being overloaded, so I just kept retrying over the last couple of days. All my apps were upto date, so was Software Update. i tried logging out of the App Store, restarting and so on. No joy.
Anyway, eventually I did this, and it seems to have solved the problem.
Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
Quit the App Store
In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore"
It will take you to a folder. Delete the whole folder and empty the trash.
Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won't charge you again. It then started downloading. I'm currently 5% downloaded - but I never got this far before.
Hope this helps!
